Replacing an old cover? A label photo or anchor layout may save you from starting over.

Never let water levels fall too low. The pool water itself supports heavy snow loads on the cover. Keep water no more than 18 inches below deck level.
Check spring tension monthly. Loose springs allow the cover to scrub back and forth against abrasive coping, rapidly wearing down corner panels.
Wash salt or chlorine away before storing. Cured salt crystals from salt chlorinator decks will weaken poly fibers over a hot summer in a storage bag.
Water chemistry under a dark, stagnant winter cover operates differently. Enter your winterizing target levels to verify if your water is safe or aggressive for woven poly yarns and springs.
Optimal chemistry. Fabric and metal spring straps are well protected from rapid oxidation.
Four simple adjustments throughout the year to protect your cover and guarantee clear pool water.
Blow out all leaves from pool coping before snapping the cover. Tighten the strap springs so they sit halfway compressed—providing rigid protection.
Do not shovel snow or chop ice on the cover. If water collects on a Solid Safety cover, ensure your pool-top utility pump runs to prevent extreme weight sagging.
Warm spring sun feeds algae through mesh covers. Peel back a corner and add a gallon of liquid chlorine in early April before opening.
Hose off dirt and salt. Let dry completely to prevent mold. Store in the original mesh bag, hanging in a garage to prevent rodent chewing.
